My Picks for X-Men: First Class...

My Picks for X-Men: First Class...

As most of you know. With the success of the "Comic book movie." They are green lighting a lot of movies. One in particular is the never ending x-men movies. Dependent on the success of X-men Origins: Wolverine. They will be green lighting Magneto, and possibly X-men: First Class. Here's my casting calls for X-men First Class

Filed Under: Fan Fic

As much as I don't like the thought of them making this movie, especially considering they've already made four movies that should have followed this one, they are in talks of making an X-men: First Class movie. Now, done right, this movie could be EPIC. Yes, EPIC. If they can capture the struggle the very first members went through, this movie could bring piece in a lot of ways. As a lot of people know, X-men was created during a time where racism, and sexism, amongst other things. Were very serious in America, and Stan "God" Lee created them, kind of showing how people were treated differently because of how they looked or what they could do in this case. But, he also showed how valuable they were to society, and how accepting them could open many to barriers to a better world. In my opinion, this fact alone, should be the main point they try to make with this first class movie...not that they will but they should. Anyways, when this movie gets the green light and we all know it most likely will...here's who I think should be doing it....lets do it.

Now, I'm going to start.

My first pick would eventually grow up to be the leader of the X-men. Now, everyone already knows my pick for this one, some disagree. But, I promise you he would be perfect.

Robert Pattinson as Cyclops.

as


Moving on, Miss Pheonix herself, the beautiful and amazing love of Cyclops life. She's a huge part of the X-men story. Now, I chose Kristen Stewart, as this character, in my previous thread. But, due to the fact that I think she would have a much larger part in this movie. I need a much bigger, and atleast slightly more experienced actress....

Scout Taylor-Compton as Jean Grey.

as


Next, we have Storm. Beautiful, strong, and really hard to cast. I chose this girl, because of her "chops." She's got producing, television, and a few movies under her belt. Now, I'm not saying they were big roles. But, they've been many, and in some cases very long term. So that should say something in itself. Therefore, I think she would do great.

Persia White as Storm...

as


Coming up in fourth place. lol. We have the brute and intellect of the group. Now, it was very hard to find an actor to portray this role. He's a very hard character to depict on the big screen. But, with a little help, and possibly some cgi'd limbs. I think this character could pull it off...I give you....

Shane Kippel as Beast.
as


..and last but certainly not least. We have the fifth person to our little gang here. Everyone knows, that with each movie. They bring in a new character..or two. Anyways, I don't see why this should be any change. So I'm going to throw my vote in, and cast the Dazzler as the fifth member of the original(FOX)team. May I present...

Alison Lohman as The Dazzler.

as



...I was also thinking in the terms of cameo appearances...who would be good? I thought about a few characters. But I decided on Psylocke and Longshot. Not so much as original appearances. But as people that have something to do with... well anything.

Emanuelle Vaugier as Psylocke.

as


and David Gallagher as Longshot.

as


Well in the immortal words of porky the pig. That's all folks. Let me know what you think. See ya next time.

thanks. i try.

zinext - 3/6/2009, 1:39 AM
Great picks, only problem is iceman cant be apart of the team in the current movie line because he is one of the younger x men and most definitly not apart of the original team.
Shaman
Shaman - 3/6/2009, 7:36 AM
Great picks but i do agree with Zinext... and that would also exclude Angel since he came about way later in the team's continuity. But then again, Fox is dumb enough to let Goyer write AND DIRECT Magneto and his own plot had no continuity what so ever with the existant X-men movie franchise. You never know with these "execs". If it was an accurate origin from the previous trilogy, the team would be: Jean, Scott, Storm, Beast and they would have to throw in one we haven't heard of in the movies that would have an "out" near the end. Banshee possibly, retiring to Muir Island and getting married to Moira or something... i dunno :)
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/6/2009, 11:07 AM
yeah. But, if they did it right....unlike the x trilogy. this is how it should be...
Shaman
Shaman - 3/6/2009, 11:37 AM
Good point. Fox never does anything right though LOL

I'll start off by saying I love anything involving the X-Men. For the record I have read in many places that the script is done and they are just waiting on the success of Wolverine to start casting and filming.

While I enjoy your concept here, it's quite obvious that it wouldn't keep with the current continuity already established for the films. While these movie's, like all comic movie's, have their flaws, nothing about this franchise is damnable enough to require a reboot. Your picks do have me intrigued, though. Do me a favor if you would, let's see who your choices would be for a First Clss movie involving the originals the movie give us: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, and Storm, and then surprise us with a 5th. I just really want to keep with the continuity they've got 4 movie's already sunken into.

Personally, I am hoping that First class is referring to Iceman, Colossus, Shadowcat, Angel, and Rogue while cutting in parts with Wolvie and Storm while of course adding some fresh faces.

joslezio: refer to my fansite for 3 fanfic's on where a new X-trilogy should go.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/6/2009, 11:56 PM
well, i already have three of them up there. So storm and the fifth would be the only one's i'd need...dude, you gave me a hard ass one with storm. I'm going to have to see Jurnee Smollert or Persia White. and as my fifth, i'm going to have to go with dazzler, and since i like the ultimate version better, and they've already screwed it up majorly, i'm going to say Brody Armstrong should play the part...
TheMyth
TheMyth - 3/7/2009, 2:10 PM
Dazzler huh. I gotta say I don't hate that idea. Beast moved on to politics while Jean, Cyke, and Storm stayed to be teachers while their old classmate Allison became a pop artist. Shaman cast Rosario Dawson as Storm based on my articles and thats been the best one yet. However someone even younger would be needed for an origin story. Truth be told, Dazzler sounds like a great candidate for a prequel origin story as the 5th original X-Man for the movie continuity. Maybe even use Thunderbird and kill him lol. Sunfire maybe? I know their are some I don't want for an original character. Banshee for one, even though Shaman revealed a good way to have him around.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/7/2009, 2:32 PM
yeah, honestly there's way too many characters to actually chose from. but from what i've read. Mimic was actually the first x men to join aside from the original five. and my pick for dazzler above was kind of a joke. you'd have to look at the pictures to get it. But, yeah. I do like dazzler. I'd have to say someone like Alison Lohman would do the part justice
Colt
Colt - 3/7/2009, 11:56 PM
what? the guy from twilight as cyclops? no... that will not work for me. and ive never heard of the other people, so im not sure about them. i do agree with keeping with the real first five... i think it should break from the continuity of the established movies. not quite a reboot, but perhaps a second series of x-men movies? it sounds ideal but sadly producers most likely wont go for multiple x-men franchises.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/8/2009, 1:03 AM
It would work perfectly. He's smug. Confident. Strong willed and strong boned in every movie he's ever done. Which is exactly how cyclops is...and he looks like him. how does this not work?
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/8/2009, 1:06 AM
...and, instead of just saying, no, that doesn't work. why not throw in some feedback of who you think might work. In my opinion he's the best possible pick. But opinions can be changed or atleast a good debate could come from. instead of just constant negative feedback from everyone, why not just an opinion of would in your eyes could be better...and colt i'm not just pointing at you. it goes to anyone and everyone...

TheMyth - 3/8/2009, 1:25 AM
I have the comic you mentioned joslezio85! It is in poor condition as I only paid about $12 for it. To try to open the book would finish it off, that bad, but I have it! Your Dazzler joke could actually work. Her powers are vast and god-like, she's not uninteresting, Hellfire Club could be used, another hot chic in the cast ;). The story could even revolve around the 4 recruiting her while the Hellfire club attempts to do the same. She goes with the X-Men, HC kidnaps her, X-Men confront HC and rescue 5th member closing out with 5 founding members for the MOVIE continuity. Cool story stuff to play with, cool villains, cool powers and effects. Just tossin' an idea around, I enjoy anything X-Men, regardless of crappiness.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/8/2009, 12:29 PM
i meant the brody armstrong part. i like the dazzler idea. but brody armstrong would be a little too old to be dazzler. mind you, she's hot as crap but too old to play a teenager.
Shaman
Shaman - 3/10/2009, 11:22 AM
Well IMO Jos, Robert Pattinson's a douche and so is Cyclops so PERFECT MATCH!!!
Retribution13
Retribution13 - 3/10/2009, 9:32 PM
nice casting
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/10/2009, 10:46 PM
SoulEater...my original choice for Hank was Elden Henson, but I personally believe he would be too old at this point. Scott Michael Foster, I think, has the right build for the role, and seems to have proven himself to be an up and coming young actor. I would be delighted to hear who you think would do a good job though.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/10/2009, 10:49 PM
maybe shane kippel as beast than?
i feel he could do a decent job as well
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/10/2009, 10:52 PM
i suppose i do agree in a way. that shawn ashmore could not reprise his role as iceman. so what about Jeremy sumpter.
Shaman
Shaman - 3/11/2009, 11:35 AM
Isn't he the crappy child actor from Peter Pan??? Well he'd have to audition and PROVE he learned enough to have the chops but he does have the look. Kippel would be a better beast than Fulton from the mighty ducks...
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/11/2009, 12:41 PM
ya. he's the crappy actor from peter pan. but i watched him on csi a few months back. he's like 20 now. and didn't do a terrible job. he'd need some guidance but i think he could get it done
Shaman
Shaman - 3/11/2009, 1:00 PM
I second then.
SPANISHVEGETA
SPANISHVEGETA - 3/12/2009, 5:59 AM
Honestly im not tryint to be rude but your pics seem like your casting for TWILIGHT 4, all it's missing is zac efron as morph. I understand theres not a whole range of young actors that can kill these rolls but it seems like if these r the roles it will b a bubble gum movie for chicks not for fans.

once again not trying to diss u
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/12/2009, 10:12 PM
no prob. negative feedback is a very positive thing. done correctly, which you did. The only problem i have, is that i only casted one person from twilight in the above thread. so how exactly do you come up with the twilight 4 thing...especially since there's only been one. lol. also, its supposed to be the x-men: first class. which means, if you've read the comics, the first five students at xavier. which would make them teenagers.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/12/2009, 10:14 PM
and myth....with your picks for who you think should be the first class...did you mean as teenagers. with storm and wolverine as their teachers. or something else? just wondering
SPANISHVEGETA
SPANISHVEGETA - 3/13/2009, 7:48 AM
I know it was only one cast memeber but that cast member is infamous for that movie and pretty much will be labeled as his character forever, so for sure all the twilight fans are gonna turn this movie to the edward movie just saying. The pics sure coulkd make a great movie for teenie boppers but u gotta know too that fanboys will rip these characters to shred cuz there acting chops which is what there looking for in characters now a days and like i said im not trying to diss u cuz there is not really a big field of good teen actors to choose from thats y hllywood picks 30 year olds to play teeneagers.

p.s they already posted that there will be 2 more movies in the twilight series so if this movie came out it will be part 4 lol and thnx for taking the feedback so good.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/13/2009, 6:03 PM
well, the way i look at it. is pick the best possible actor for the part. if the teeny boppers go nuts. so be it. more money for them. and honestly, most of the true fans rip anything to shreds. just to do it. so...i mean, i hated james marsden as cyclops, cuz i hated james marsden. but i will admit he did a really good job playing the douche. and if they hadn't killed him i would've been happy to see him reprise his role. if people don't want to give the chance. thats their choice. but i bet he would blow them away.
davidl859
davidl859 - 3/22/2009, 1:06 AM
ya i agree james marsden sucks but his acting in x-men was alright but thank satan they killed him off but as most comics dead hero's are never really dead so im sure he will be back some how
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/22/2009, 8:32 PM
you tell 'em or me or whoever schmavid...
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/25/2009, 7:23 PM
@spanishvegeta. After reading this thread a few times. I noticed you said "bubble gum roles." That fits well for Robert Pattinson. But, none of the others. Scout Taylor Compton was in Halloween for crying out loud. Not bubble gum teenie girl flick. Scott Michael Foster is in a hit (adult) cable series. I've obviously changed my cast a tiny bit. But still. the term only fits with one actor, and did anyone ever stop to think that he might be a great actor if offered a none teenie bopper role. I'm sick of people judging actors and actresses by one movie they didn't like. Twilight wasn't good. So what...I think his acting was fine. I also thought he was good in harry potter. Don't judge actors based on what the directors, and writers have screwed up. Judge them on how well they did with what they had to work with...
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/25/2009, 9:32 PM
OK. A piece of my mind for everyone. I think they should start making X movies. Craploads of them. And instead of all of this stupid crap they keep doing. Just take the great stories we already have and straight transfer them to the big screen. Messiah Complex. Age of Apocalypse. for example. They should just make the stories...it would be so much better.
